CD cover

For the CD cover we are thinking of using lips and maybe a screen grab of part of the music video or a picture used in the music video for the back. for the inside of the CD case we will use shot fifteen with the scattered photos so when you lay the CD case down on the desk it is like you see the scene when she is looking at the photos.


Another ideas to turn the lips into a flower in the front cover by repeating the lips and have them coming from the center for the back of the case a photo of a mic using the wire to create a heart on the stage and for the inside a persons mouth with there fingers to there lips saying sshh.




Another idea is to have the performer in black and white styled (a bit like Cheryl Cole's album) with red lips but in black and white and for the back a different pose with fingers to the lips saying sshh. for the inside use the picture of the to girls walking away holding hands.


Another idea is to use the same front cover idea as above but have a picture featured in the music videos as the background looking like we are viewing it through the glass.

Another idea is to use screen grabs from the shots of the music video filmed out
doors with the artist posing in different ways on all the front cover surface.



This is one of our early ideas we used images from the Internet a manipulated the front cover to look like pop art using distorting the image and highlighting the red lips and placing the album title and and artist name around. we blured the image on the back and placed the barcode, copyright and record company on the back along with the tracklist. We felt the cover was to plain and did not go with the song if we chose a different genre of music them maybe it would have worked better.

Advert

I like this advert because the use of her make up and hair standing out. i like the use of graffiti for the words giving it an edgy look and making it different and stand out from the conventional posters. It does not give much information about the CD except the month there is no information about where you can get it from. Despite not giving much information it creates a buzz of people wondering and want to search for it. The way she is looking directly at the camera makes you feel like she is looking at you.
I like this advert because it can be taken straight from the music video and just add the words around the performer. The fact it is a screen grab from the performance and not a staged photograph. It is in the moment seeing the artist do there thing.
i like the style of this advert. the hmv logo stands out amongst the black and white. I like how effective the black and white creates a mood. it also follows how our CD cover is with black and white and color. this could be seen in a music or fashion magazine because the picture looks like a editorial picture, the main focus is always on the artist because that is the whole background.
